Mmmm, I think that the gold covers got fitted to the later engines with the removable circlip that allows the opening rocker to be slid sideways to allow access to the opening shim , old type you had to withdraw the rocker shaft and remove rocker to get at the opening shim , so probly a few more than 50

Often in classifieds or ebay auctions it says one of only 50 or one of 100. Where does the number 50 even come from?The only Pasos of which only 50 were produced were the white ones and the uprated ones but that was in 1987.In 1988 a total of 560 red ones were manufactured of which 350 were California models and 55 US models. So you might say it`s one of 55 but that info is worthless as the 55 were just the last batch of 1.065 that were produced in total.

My 1988 Limited (white), from what I have read, was 1 of 50 produced and it has gold valve covers. But I've seen gold covers in pictures of other 750's in this forum so I don't think that rumor is true. At first I thought they were anodized gold but they are just painted. I know, this is not helpful........

Researching and found on this forum the number of Gold Valve cover's in the later 88 models. Mine is a US Non Cal (one of 55) but with the removable circlip. Found the gold valve coves ones (750 Paso Red) to only be 50, I believe in Ian Falloon's book. Still working on confirmation. Thanks so for guys. Also, where did you find the signatures on your bikes?
